Our Calendar of Events

Our Recent Notice

I'm sending this out early this week, in part because this week's game is on Thursday, and also because the next couple days are a little crazy for me.

Not too much new to pass on for this week. Brenn's will be open Thursday night for the game against the Chiefs, hope to see as many of you there as possible.

I'd like to remind everyone that 12/18 will be elections for 2017 officers. 12/18 now will officially be Family Day, so Brenn's will be open to guests under age 21 and there will be no smoking inside Brenn's that Sunday.

Money and forms for the Texas Roadhouse fundraiser were due to Mike Roseberry at yesterday's game. However, if you have sold gift cards or wish to purchase some for yourself, you may still do so, with the club receiving a cut of the proceeds, just be advised that delivery for Christmas is not guaranteed at this point. If you do enjoy eating there, please consider purchasing a card, as it spends the same as cash but part of it goes towards the Players Fund.

Congrats to Herb, who won yesterday's annual Chili Cook-Off! And thank you to all who participated.

Have a great week everyone!!

PS...Yesterday's 10th win of the season, coupled with the Chargers 7th loss, means that San Diego is eliminated from AFC West contention. One down, two more to eliminate. Go Raiders!!!-------------------------------------There have been some questions about Brenn's hours of operation for upcoming games, and we do have an update. Brenn's will be open for the entirety of the Chiefs game on Thursday 12/8. On New Year's Day, Brenn's will open at 4pm. Kickoff against the Broncos is 4:25pm. The Christmas Eve game against the Colts has yet to be determined at this point. Brenn's had intended to close at 6pm that day. They are willing to stay open if enough people will be attending. We will be taking a count 12/18 to see who is interested in watching the game at Brenn's. If you can't be there that day but would like to please send me an email at mshade55@ptd.net to let me know. Also, please be respectful and honest when responding. The people that take care of us while we are there have families as well, and are more dependent on tips as income than an hourly wage. If people aren't there, they aren't making what they should be to make it worthwhile to be away from their families

Elections will also be held on 12/18 for 2017 Club Officers. Remember, if you don't come out and vote, you can't say anything about the results!!

To follow up on some previous items...RJ shared with us that Poker with Jimmy raised over $8,000 at this year's event, an amount that was helped by our club contribution. Canned goods were dropped off last week to York County Food Bank, along with some stragglers this week that I didn't receive previously. The staff there were very thankful and appreciative of our collective efforts. Our donation to the PA Breast Cancer Coalition will be decided upon once we have a full tally for the fundraising efforts.

And lastly, on a sad note, longtime club friend and former Raider player Phil Villapiano's wife passed away recently from cancer. The club sent a card to Phil offering our condolences on his loss.

For those Raiders Boosters of York, PA who are purchasing Texas Roadhouse Giftcards...Forms AND money are due this Sunday, Dec. 4! No Exceptions...for everyone to get their cards in time for holiday gift giving, this is when the forms AND money are due. Remember, there are incentives of Texas Roadhouse SWAG for purchasing at $100, $300 & $600 levels...plus, for anyone who buys at least one gift card, you get a Free $7 Appetizer coupon! And the Raiders Boosters Player's Fund* receives 10% of the total sales. So if the membership buys $2000 in gift cards, the Player's Fund gets $200.

You can give them as gifts this holiday season OR buy one or two for yourself and help raise many for the club to bring in former Raider Legends to visit our club or as a guest at an anniversary party. Plus, the cards can be used at ANY Texas Roadhouse Restaurant!

Gift cards should be available for pick-up on Sun., Dec. 18.

ALSO...please buy a block in the Rich Gannon lithograph or autographed photo Block Pool...ONLY $3 and the proceeds benefit the Players' Fund. It is hoped that all the blocks are sold by the last game of the year on Jan. 1.

*Player's Fund included monies raised to pay for Raider Legends' transportation, accommodations, and hotel plus for the photos, members can have signed.
